Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 18 ounces (510 grams) white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces (397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups roughly chopped Oreo cookies
Coloring and Flavoring:
- 1/4 teaspoon orange gel food coloring
Optional Garnish:
- None mentioned in the original recipe
Instructions
- Prepare a rectangular or square baking dish by lining it completely with parchment paper, ensuring smooth edges for easy removal.
- Place white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into a microwave-safe container, creating a creamy base for the festive treat.
- Heat the mixture in the microwave, stopping every 30-45 seconds to stir and prevent scorching, until the chocolate melts completely and forms a silky consistency.
- Introduce vibrant orange gel food coloring, gently stirring to achieve a rich, Halloween-inspired hue throughout the mixture.
- Carefully chop Oreo cookies into irregular chunks, maintaining varied sizes for visual and textural interest.
- Incorporate most of the crushed Oreo cookies into the melted chocolate mixture, folding gently to distribute evenly without breaking the cookie pieces.
- Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined dish, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and create a smooth surface.
- Strategically sprinkle the remaining Oreo cookie fragments across the top, pressing them lightly to ensure they adhere to the fudge.
- Allow the fudge to solidify naturally at room temperature for approximately 2-3 hours, or expedite the process by refrigerating for 45-60 minutes.
- Once completely set, lift the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper edges and slice into clean, precise squares for serving.
Notes
- Customize the orange shade by adding gel food coloring gradually to achieve the perfect Halloween festive look.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate and cookie flavors, creating a more complex taste profile.
- Ensure white chocolate chips are high-quality for smoother, creamier fudge texture and richer flavor.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies to maintain the classic cookies and cream experience.
